The time limits and ongoing pressure creates anxiety and makes it difficult to think straight. Some people are blessed with organization skills and are able to move efficiently over the course of a month or so, but others are strapped for time and need to expedite the moving process. Regardless of your situation, there is a way to get things done quickly and efficiently. Using the fast track guide to packing and moving, you\u2019ll be able to move in two weeks or less. To help you, make sure you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/ultimate-moving-checklist\/\" title=\"\">go through the ultimate moving checklist<\/a> so you never miss a step.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Allow Yourself Time to Prepare<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While you might think that you need to immediately start doing something physical, the preparation process is an important part of getting things ready so you can have a stress-free moving experience. You\u2019ll want to spend about one to two days getting prepared so that when it\u2019s time to start packing and moving, you\u2019ll have all of the administrative things taken care of and you can focus on the task at hand. If you\u2019re on a serious time crunch, spend a few hours in the morning before you move on to other steps and keep notes of what you have and haven\u2019t finished. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.updater.com\/moving-tips\/the-most-epic-moving-checklist-in-the-history-of-moving-checklists\">The preparation process includes<\/a> getting all of your necessary moving supplies, making travel arrangements for your move, calling utility companies, and asking for help.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Get Your Supplies Ready<\/strong> \u2013 make sure you buy any necessary supplies including moving boxes, bubble wrap and packing paper, trash bags, permanent markers, packing tape, moving blankets, plastic wrap, and furniture pads.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make Any Travel Arrangements<\/strong> \u2013 if your new home isn\u2019t move-in ready, make sure that you know where you\u2019re going to stay during the transition.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Call Ahead<\/strong> \u2013 if you\u2019re going to use a moving company, call them ahead to schedule your moving date. You\u2019ll also want to call your utilities companies so that you can transfer your services over the phone before you get to your new place.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Recruit Help<\/strong> \u2013 ask your friends and family if they\u2019re available to help you on the big day. If they\u2019re available, supply some food and cold drinks to thank them and let them know your gratitude.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" src=\"http:\/\/3.146.49.248\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/scissors-1986602_640.jpg\" alt=\"The Fast Track Guide to Packing and Moving in Two Weeks or Less\" class=\"wp-image-5742\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/scissors-1986602_640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/scissors-1986602_640-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/scissors-1986602_640-631x420.jpg 631w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3> Get Organized <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now the fun begins. Getting organized so that you have an idea for how you\u2019re going to pack is a good way to create a strategic plan. In a majority of cases, people try to take it slow and move over long periods of time. However, sometimes that\u2019s either not possible or just not your thing. If you\u2019re the type of person who works best at the last minute, you need to prioritize your organization. Otherwise, you\u2019ll find yourself stressed out and feeling rushed, which can lead to improper packing and a lot of preventable headaches.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go on a home walkthrough so you can evaluate each room and its contents. What will you need to pack? Is there anything that you\u2019re going to leave behind? Do you want to start fresh with d\u00e9cor or will things transfer to your new home? You\u2019ll also want to look at your items in each room and try to create categories. Write things down and give yourself the time to think about the details of your move. Not only will it make things easier when you start to pack, it\u2019ll make unpacking a breeze.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" src=\"http:\/\/3.146.49.248\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pexels-andrea-piacquadio-3768881-1.jpg\" alt=\"The Fast Track Guide to Packing and Moving in Two Weeks or Less\" class=\"wp-image-6709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pexels-andrea-piacquadio-3768881-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pexels-andrea-piacquadio-3768881-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pexels-andrea-piacquadio-3768881-1-631x420.jpg 631w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During your organization time, you can also start to pack a few things that you rarely use and know you won\u2019t need until your move. It\u2019s also a good idea to start creating piles of things that you\u2019ll want to get rid of before the transition. You can take them to a donation center or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/best-ways-to-make-money-off-your-clutter\/\" title=\"\">try selling them for a few extra dollars<\/a>. If you don\u2019t think you\u2019re going to use it in your new home, or if you plan to redecorate, don\u2019t bother moving it, it just creates more work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In each room, make a note if there is anything essential that you\u2019ll need right up until the day you leave. It\u2019s never fun to pack early and realize that you don\u2019t have any utensils or toiletries handy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"http:\/\/3.146.49.248\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pexels-linda-ellershein-2611593.jpg\" alt=\"The Fast Track Guide to Packing and Moving in Two Weeks or Less\" class=\"wp-image-6710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pexels-linda-ellershein-2611593.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pexels-linda-ellershein-2611593-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pexels-linda-ellershein-2611593-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pexels-linda-ellershein-2611593-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pexels-linda-ellershein-2611593-560x420.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, if you have a room that doesn\u2019t get used as often, dedicate it as your moving room. You can put all of your boxes in here as you start to pack so that things are out of the way and in one spot. This will make moving day much easier as you won\u2019t have to run around the house making sure you have everything. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/short-term-self-storage-moving\/\" title=\"\">Another great option is using short term self storage for moving<\/a>. If you\u2019re going to be moving across town or nearby your previous home, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/self-storage-packing-tips-and-tricks\/\" title=\"\">start taking boxes of things you rarely use directly to your self storage unit<\/a>. This way, you\u2019ll have less work on moving day and you\u2019ll be able to keep things out of the way during the process.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Start Packing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After you\u2019ve put aside all of your essentials and figured out a plan for how you\u2019re going to pack each room, it\u2019s time to get started. Go through your house one room at a time and jump right in. This is a great time to utilize help if you\u2019ve got it. The more people working towards packing up a room, the faster it will go.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure that you use the proper packing equipment to protect your things and always label your boxes. Having things break during a move is never fun, especially when they\u2019re sentimental items or valuable. We recommend using an assortment of bubble wrap and packing paper for boxed goods and always protecting your furniture with covers and bags. When labeling the boxes, you should include the contents and if there is anything breakable write \u201cFragile\u201d in large letters. This will let the movers, or your friends and family, know they need to handle the box with care. If you\u2019re going to use a long-term self storage unit, pack those boxes accordingly and take them to your facility before moving day. If you need to take anything apart, always make sure you put the smaller pieces in a bag and label it, so you know what it\u2019s for. You can tape the bag to the actual item for increased convenience, just make sure that it\u2019s secure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/package-2072221_640-1.jpg\" alt=\"The Fast Track Guide to Packing and Moving in Two Weeks or Less\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Moving Day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When moving day comes, it\u2019s important you know what you\u2019re doing. If you\u2019ve hired professional movers, they will take care of most of the work. However, if you\u2019re moving on your own, it\u2019s a good idea to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/how-to-pack-a-moving-truck-2\/\" title=\"\">understand how to pack a moving truck in the most efficient way possible<\/a>. Packing a moving truck is an art and, when done properly, can save you time and money. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/how-to-maximize-your-moving-truck\/\" title=\"\">For more information on how to maximize the efficiency of your moving truck, check out this article<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure that you have an overnight bag packed for the duration of your move. While you might think that you\u2019ll be able to start unpacking as soon as you get to your new place, moving is exhausting. Chances are you\u2019ll want to sit down and relax for a while and start the unpacking process on a new day. Give yourself the opportunity to do this by packing a small bag of all of the essentials that you\u2019ll need for a day or two. This way, you won\u2019t feel pressured into unpacking just to brush your teeth. Instead, relax and talk to your partner about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/how-to-organize-new-home\/\" title=\"\">how you\u2019ll want to organize your new home<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pexels-ketut-subiyanto-4246210-3.jpg\" alt=\"The Fast Track Guide to Packing and Moving in Two Weeks or Less\" style=\"width:446px;height:668px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moving is a process, but sometimes it needs to be done as fast as possible.
